1) Although he may have in the past, your modern Magyar does not ride a horse, nor does he shoot arrows while riding backwards. Tourist guides don't mention this. I thought you should know.
2) There is a minaret in Eger. Turks had harems. There are a lot of beautiful women [1, 2] in Hungary. Presumably the minaret was built to watch then recruit them. Perhaps it was also hoped the minaret's obviously phallic appearance would get the ladies in the loving mood. Further, while I have never seen it in print, I believe it was quite possible the Ottomans invaded for the women. Vienna must have been for other reasons.
3) Much like their decline in football (soccer), Hungarian men are no longer moustache champions; although fine representations past glories are preserved for posterity on banknotes and monuments. On the other hand, unlike the equally swarthy Italians, the Hungarian women don't have moustaches.
4) Like the cuisine of their former underlings, the Slovaks, Hungarian dishes eschew fresh produce. Unlike the cuisine of their former underlings, the Slovaks, Hungarian dishes have different flavors and taste very good.
5) There is a lot of good Hungarian literature. Unlike some other Central European nations, they learned to read before WWI.
6) It is forbidden for non-Magyars to say some Hungarian words, for example: gyógyszerészet, szoposszaju, ülgyûrûfütty.
